Allergies
Allergies are abnormal immune system reactions to substances that are typically harmless to most people. When a person has an allergy, their immune system identifies a specific allergen (a substance that triggers the allergic reaction) as a threat and responds by releasing chemicals, such as histamine, to combat the perceived danger. This overreaction results in various symptoms, which can range from mild to severe and can affect different parts of the body.
